Photo gallery
NCIG’s collection includes historical and contemporary photos, organised by location or community. View highlights in the Image Gallery, or access full details and metadata via the Document Archive.
NCIG has a large collection of photographs taken in decades past. A selection of these photographs has been collated on this website, categorised by the location or community in which they were taken. The photos are also available via our custom-built Document Archive site. For quick viewing, enjoy this Image Gallery. If you are seeking more detail or metadata about the photos, we recommend that you view them via the Archive.
We also share here some contemporary photos of our visits to communities, and events and guests we have hosted in Canberra, where the collection is stored.
Be careful how you look at the photographs on this website. You may see family who have passed away.
